Dorking around on travel sites is my weird little self-soothing, time-wasting extravagance.
I dont know whats so exciting about plane ticket listings, I just like them.
I like them in the way I like cheesecake and Pearl Jam.
My first experience with Chinese travel sites was booking tickets oneLongmany moons ago 2007, I think?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
They would rather have a popcorn kernel stuck in their teeth forever.
They would rather smell their own farts.
The top travel companies in China dont behave like this.
They do not toss the plebs an email address and access to a knowledge-base and call it a day.
Customer touchpoints are immediate and accessible.
Look at these Chinese UIs.
Look where the phone number is.
From a UX perspective, it seems redundant.
I am in the process of tracking down some answers, fingers crossed.
The default configs for flight ticket search is domestic, one way.
(Round-trip is the default setting for the international tab).
I dont think theres a lot of mystery as to why.
They are comparatively demanding, wanting far more information about products and vendors than shoppers elsewhere.
